WOMEN’S COMMUNITY CLUB MEET A "goodly crowd’’ turned out for the first meeting of the new year for the Walkerton Woman's Community Gub. All were in good spirits and had a lively chat about their holiday activities. Barbara Simpson, president, opened the meeting at the Walkerton Community Building. Ann Rockwell introduced her hostesses: Gen England. Caroline Hankovsky, Helen Hunter and Beatrice Seaholm. The desserts were delightful. Helen Hunter gave the prayer, a very appropriate one for the season and Janet Bieriy gave the devotions called "Welcome A Stranger." some very good resolutions for the coming year. The secretary, Mildred McKesson, read correspondence from Gertrude Oderwald, an honorarymember of the club who now lives elsewhere but who keeps in touch. Elaine Bouse announced that there are 23 address books left to sell yet. The president reminded the members that yearly reports from chairmen were due and should be turned in to her at the January Pth meeting. Nadine Keiper said that she had been contacted by Doris Gardner, president-elect of the regional club as to whether Nadine would do publicity for 1992-94. She agreed to do so. The president informed the group that the GFWC state con-

i vention wil be held in Indianapolis on June 5 to the 11. Those intending to attend should sign up as soon as possible by calling Barbara. The convention’s goal is to have an attendance of over a thousand members. Os more immediate importance is the March 28th county convention which the Walkerton club will host at the Presbyterian ' Gturch. Alfreds Onika and Elaine Bouse volunteered for the registration and Janet Bieriy and Verice Walz will do the breakfast stint. More volunteers are needed. The program for the meeting was a book review of Hume Cronyn's "A Terrible Liar" by Nadine Keiper, which everyone seemed to enjoy. Vice-president Carol Knop reminded the members that at the February 7th meeting there will be an ezchange of homemade valentines. President Barbara Simpson read guidelines to being an worthwhile club member. The most important one was to be sure one knew their club’s bylaws. The next meeting will be on January 17 at the Community Building.

What’s the best way to store this to make it last awhile? C.E., Berwick, PA Answer: Baklava, the Greek pastry layered with honey, butter and walnuts, is best frozen. Wrap it tightly in moisture-vapor-proof wrap or container and place it in the freezer. It'll keep up to two months if you don’t eat it all before that. Question: Can I substitute catfish for shrimp in my shrimp salad recipe? N.J., Stillwater. OK Answen We recommend following the recipe for best results. Catfish is more tender than shrimp and may not hold together well through the mixing and stirring of making a salad. You can make a substitution of equal weight, however. the flavor will be different. Question: I have an old recipe that calls for a number 2 can. How much is there in a number 2 can? E.L., Batesville. IN Answer: The amount in a number 2 can is approximately 2*4 cups or one pound four ounces or one pint two fluid ounces. Do you have a cooking question? Write Dear Betty Crocker, Box 1113, Dept. Betts, Minneapolis. MN 55440 Tip Os The Week: The pomegranate is an unusual fruit that’s actually hundreds of pea sized, juicy pods It looks beautiful stirred into fruit compote with apples, dates and oranges Garnish roast beef or pork with the bright red seeds. The temperature of the earth's interior increases by one degree tor every 60 feet down.
